At long last the suspense has ended: Fedor Emelianenko finally has a dance partner for New Year’s Eve.
However, just like when this particular opponent was initially rumored to face Emelianenko more than two months ago, the announcement is likely to generate more eye rolls than excitement in the MMA community.
Emelianenko will face Jaideep Singh in the headliner of Rizin Fighting Federation’s Dec. 31 event, which will take place at the Saitaima Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. The matchup was announced during a press conference in Japan on Thursday.
